I was born half a world from Nashville Tennessee
Where all year long the summer breezes blow
And while my friends are flying kites and planting bonsai trees
I got high on country radio

It wasn't long before a song was born inside my heart
And soon I started singing right along
An understanding uncle smile and gave me my first start
By listening to my Shanghaied country song
Singapore cowboy
So far from my home
Bright stars and guitars but
None of my own
Singapore cowboy
Where do I belong
Won't you sing a poor cowboy
Another lonely song

I sang my songs in Singapore and crazy as it seems
A distance shore kept calling after me
And ten years from my first guitar I gathered all my dreams
And here I am in Nashville Tennessee

Singapore cowboy
So far from my home
Bright stars and guitars but
None of my own
Singapore cowboy
Where do I belong
Won't you sing a poor cowboy
Another lonely song

Singapore cowboy
